Amitabh Bachchan's Bihar praise, draws Lalu's ire

Patna, Aug 6: Amitabh Bachchan, the name itself is enough for people to identify who he was. To many, he is a wonderfully modest man who has made it big due to sheer hard work and to some others he is inarguably the finest actor, Indian cinema has ever seen - but not to Lalu Prasad Yadav.

The former Union Railway minister and chief of the Rashtriya Janata Dal hates the iconic star's acting skills. He was quoted as saying, "Amitabh Bachchan mera sabse napasand kalakar hai (he is my least likeable actor in the film industry)."

He added that he did not take the views of the actor seriously.

Insane, it may appear but that was his answer when reporters sought his reaction to the 68-year old actor's praise of the NDA government in Bihar. Bachchan, it can be recollected, that during his recent visit to Bihar to promote his movie Aarakshan, had said that there has been a lot of development in Patna.

He had said, "I have come here after so many years and I feel this place has definitely changed. Nitish Kumarji deserves kudos. Patna does not look like a metropolitan city. It looks better..Bihar has witnessed tremendous growth. The ambiance has changed."

He added, "I have gone through several projects being carried out for the development of Bihar and I really feel very happy to be here."
